This is a unique opportunity to run in one race in two states on a USATF certified single-loop course. The course is relatively flat with some long inclines. It goes through both Cities of Texarkana with a portion of the race on the Arkansas/Texas Stateline. The race is primarily on 10-ft wide asphalt trails and city streets with coning. Multiple water stops, restrooms, and volunteers are stationed along the course. The race is in the 2011 Arkansas Grand Prix Series.
The race starts at 8:00 a.m. for general runners and 7:30 a.m. for walkers, the physically challenged, runners who need more than 3 hours to complete the race. The course closes at 11:00 a.m. Late finishers will have limited support.
The half-marathon includes 2-person relay teams. Electronic timing chips are provided. We host a great post-race celebration at the finish line for all runners. For entry form, maps, and more information go to http://www.txkruntheline.com. Online registration is at http://www.signmeup.com/87246.
